Research notes
Research notes

Just-add-water pancake mix. Protein comes from whole grain wheat flour, wheat protein isolate, whey protein isolate and buttermilk, so proteinSource is mixed. Nutrition is from the Nutrition Facts image on the brand's product page (00041449471792_Nutrition-Custom.jpg; about 9 servings per container): 1/2 cup mix (61 g) gives 220 kcal, 15 g protein, 34 g carbs, 7 g sugar and 3 g fat. ShopRite's listing for UPC 041449471792 shows the same panel. The Amazon gallery shows a different panel version (62 g, 220 kcal, 15 g protein, 36 g carbs, 8 g sugar, 2 g fat), so the box you get may differ slightly; calories and protein are the same in both. Price rule: Amazon's current price for the 8-box pack (shipped and sold by Amazon.com), with no deal badge and no Typical price shown; Amazon has no single-box listing. servingsPerPackage is 8 boxes x about 9. The brand site sells 4 boxes for $26.76.
